Car-In-Chic

Pilen began production of 1:63 in the late 1970's with a small line of miniatures. Numbers from 800 to 819 were used, with about half the numbers used twice. These were sometimes (but not always) labelled "Car In Chic".

The early castings are all metal except the wheels with interiors as part of the base. Later models had plastic bases. Many castings are used several times for rally, police, fire or taxi variations. Most have opening doors. Colors are simple and realistic. Wheels are much like the speed-style wheels offered by other manufacturers.
